The top 3 is the best we can do. Considering what the test top 6 was like, you can toss a coin over the rest.

Shaun Marsh might be useful but they obviously want to take a look at Head and they have rested Mitch Marsh.

Plus they don't trust Khawaja against spin.
Correct me if im wrong - but when was the last time Warner stood up for us when we needed him? Flat track bully

Pretty awful side we've got in at the moment - Henriques, Lyon and Head all shouldn't be in there. I can understand the reasoning why they want to provide Head with a few chances to become familiar with the international scene, but bowling four overs.... Why?

Amila Aponso is another of the all time great names.
 
One issue with this team is that none of our top 5 batsmen (Warner, Finch, Smith, Bailey, Wade, SMarsh, Khawaja, etc) are legitimate bowling options. Finch or Smith could get through an over or two if they had to, but it's not like they can send down a full 10 overs in an ODI. If you're going to send Mitch Marsh home, then you pretty much have to play "nothing" players like Henriques, or force Head to bowl when he's not really up to it yet.

For all his flaws, Maxwell at least provides a genuine 5th option who can get through plenty of overs if he has to.
